SArera.
014d Sol, ushered in yesterday with
onrie of hifbrightest and most beguil-
ing smiles, but his co-laborer and
ceuma, the distinguished Mr. Boreas,
must have been in a very bad humor
for he met the warm advances of the
ient Mr. Sol in a very cool manner.
Je fact is there was a generous suf-
fliency of heat when one was in the
40dst of the sunshine, but, if the shad-
ows were allowed to embrace you for
a short time, it did not take very long
to convince one that the air was decid-
edly chilly, and made the ladies on
the grand stand shiver, *
The visiting military, and espec-
ially .those who took part in the drills
ye rday remained at their respective
hotels .until it was necessary to repair
to- the grounds. The boys seemed to
r realize they had a struggle, before
them, and'were reserving'every Par-
tiele of strength for the Sght.
1'- JTHE INTER-STATE% DRILL. L
T'he inter-state drill commenced
Vpomptly at 10:42 A. M., aftd-,a few
minutes later the Gate City Gurds, of:
Atlanta, were facing the jpdg'es .t
10' W..thef graund -ta^Jc 11'
marched Into tt 11rprWo ^
ceived an ovation from the grand
stand where the ladies had a decided-
ly large majority. Handkerchiefs
were ,waved, and a perfect deluge of
sweet smiles and bright glances Were
showered upon the boys. The drill
was a fine one, and the company did
credit both to themselves and the city
from which they came.
The Guards were followed by the
Southern Cadets, of Macon. This
company was here last, season, and,
when they returned, home, left a
number of warm friends behind them.
As they marched on the grounds a
perfect storm of applause greeted them
from the stand, and the owners of
numerous witching eyes hoped that
they would again carry off the golden
shekels which Victory intends to pour
into the coffers of the successful com-r
party. They put up an exceedingly
fine drill, and do not appear to have
lost any of their skillfulness.
This completed the morning's work,
and an adjournment was taken for
dinner.
Long before half-past three o'clock,
the time set for the resumption of

hostilities, the grand stand began fill-
ing with spectatres, aud when the
time arrived for the, commencement
of the afternoon's programme, there
was scarcely an empty seat on the
stand. Jacksonville's ladies turned
out in full force, and when the Met-
ropoliton Light Infantry, the flower
of Jacksonville's military companies,
marched on the grounds, veritable
storm of applause greeted them" on
every hand. 'The young gentlemend,
in their tasty uniforms and snow-white
plumes, made an elegant appearance,
and numerous pairs of rosy lips gave

them a smelling welcOe,. and ii. R

le is only a fraction of the machine.
Captain Spencer has a commanding
form, and the distinctness, precision,
and coolness with which he gives
the different commands can not help
inspiring the boys with confidence in
themselves. This company, uidoubt-
edly has a .brilliant future before it.
Then came dress parade and review
by Governor Fleming and staff, which
closed the programme for the day.

-pol. J.A. Bradford, whose elegant
figure and genial smile adorns his lit-
tle gem of a place under the Saint
James Hotel, believes in keeping up
with the music in the procession. For
years the Colonel has devoted his en-
tire time and energies, during the
winter months, making northern visi-
tors happy by keeping them supplied
with oranges and orange blossoms.
Realizing that our winter climate is a
sure method of increasing the avoir-
dupois of any pilgrim to this health-
giving Mecca, who imbibes a sufficient
amount, be determined that the rapid-
ly fattening guests at i the St. James
Hotel should be supplied with a
machine' that would mathematically"
calculate the daily increase of flesh to
the exactness of a hair. The :ColonelPs
deliberations resultedL in placing in
one of the corridors of that handsome
hotel a pair of scales whose mechan-
ism and finish are a wonder to behold,
and by standing upon' the platform'
an- placing a nickle in the slot the
machine not ohly weighs, but-fjrnishs
